Dear Uncle Leke:

Dear Uncle Zeke:
Your nephew had such a mighty
spell of the trcmens that he was
unable, sooner, to answer your af-
fectionate letter. You sec that the
whisky we drink at the Ferry is the
pure secesh. 1t comes down in
the night from the mountains,
where no blamed Yankee tax is
levied on it. That grog that you
drink in "Craw' is Yankee stuff,
made from tobacco juice, powder
and fish berries, which puts you in
humor for fighting. It's a mira
Gle it don't kill you.
| lam sorry to inform you private
ly, that nearly all our old.time
Democrats at the Ferry are turning
into Yankees. and they will vote
the Yankee ticket at the next cleo
ton.
You will love to hear that the
Blair Bill was knocked out. If
that blamed bill had become a law
it would have enlightened the far
mers SO much that Kentucky
would have lost her reputation as
an illiterate State. 1t would have
ruined our party.
You will be glad to hear that we
have accepted from Congress SIS, =
900 year to pension few of our
old rebel soldiers. These pension
ers will hold their headquarters at
Lexington, remote from the poor.
They will rank as Kurnels, and
teach from big books how the fogy
farmers in Kentucky must pillow
their own soil. It's a good idea.
You see we have no school-house
at the Ferry, and the old log novels
around here are crumbling into
dust. This is all right, for don't
you see that by kicking out that
Yankee Blair Bill, and by keeping
the fogy farmers in inky darkness,
that our dear old rebel party can
hold the reins of power in Ken
lucky for eternity. Your old
slave, aunt Snort, is dead, and the
boys look like their father-nearly
white. They would readily sell
under the hammer for 81, 500 a
skull, but for the blamed Yankees.
When are you coming up to see
them?
My next letter will be from
Lockport. This Yankee climate
don't agree with my health, SO |
bid you a private farewell.

Every reader of this paper is aware of the

produced It WAS felt that the assassination
Of Haddock had cast stain upon Sioux City
and the State; that the open defiance of law
which had disgraced her 30 long had cuimi
mated in the inevitable result of rebellion
The moment that shot was fired, the instant
the first drop of blood was spilled from that
sturdy heart, occurred revolution of senti-
ment in Sioux City such a il seldom expert
enced Those who had been lukewarm grew
suddenly hot; those who cared neither for
prohibition nor antl-prohibition stood up for
law and order; the city council, which but
few months before assisted in incubating the
lawless state of affairs by openly collecting
license from business conducted in deti-
ance of the laws Of tho State, became ashamed
OF itself and voted money for funeral ex-
penses and to aid in conviction of the guilty
ones, the resolution being introduced by =
liquor seller and violent nti-prohibitionist
Gov. Larrabee offered . reward OF $500 for
the apprehension and conviction Of the MUIR
derer. This, swelled by the offers of the city,
the Methodist Conference and other organiss-
tions, made . reward Of $4,000, which stimu-
lated the authorities in efforts 1t detection
But the officers were hampered by . sentiment
on the part of = certain element which would
not down, and the coroner's jury, which sat
for many weary weeks, found it difficult to
fasten the crime upon any particular person

Whether these two men ran north on Water
street, or west across the bridge to the Franz
brewery, on West Third, was one Of the prin-
cip.l points disputed on the trial. The reader
will sec that If the former was the case it were
reasonable to suppose that Leavitt was the
